Leonard Cohen brings meticulous approach to Milwaukee Theatre
Leonard Cohen graced the Chicago Theatre stage sharply dressed in a suit and fedora hat. As his gruff, commanding voice quietly filled the room, the audience fell to a hush. It was as though they were bearing witness to a life-altering sermon, enraptured by profound songs like "Suzanne" and "Hallelujah," backed by a nine-piece band.
Four years after that concert, Cohen continues to surprise. He's older of course, at 78, but these days his performances often are, incredibly enough, even longer, between 3 1/2 and four hours. And he's taken his tour to so many places, he's starting to hit some unexpected markets, such as Milwaukee. On Friday, Cohen will perform at the Milwaukee Theatre, his first concert here since he played at what's now the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts on Feb. 25, 1975. Mayor Tom Barrett has designated Friday as "Leonard Cohen Day." »Read Full Article(5)

It is no safer to be in an expired seat than in no seat at all. The plastic breaks down over time, as does all plastic, and becomes brittle. In a crash, the force could, and has, caused the harness to break through the plastic, strangling the child, or ejecting them completely.
There are many options for parents who cannot afford a new seat. An expired seat is not their only option.
As for freecycle... all we can do is give parents the information and the rest is up to them. It is very unfortunate when parents choose to put their childrens life at risk, but there isn't a whole lot we can do about it.

Responsibility for grassfire
A group of youth took responsibility for last Thursday evening's grassfire that burned an area of about 30 metres by 30 metres south of Brooks. Deputy fire chief Stewart Luchies said the fire, which ignited in a field south of Brooks, was caused by youth playing with parachute rockets. "They started the fire and called 911,"Luchies said. He added that he thanked them for remaining on scene then "lectured" them on the dangers of what they were doing especially because it's so dry.

©2014 Propane Education & Research Council
Download this brochure containing important information about propane safety and tornadoes.
Information you need to know about propane safety and how to keep your family safe during and after a tornado. By taking a few simple propane-related safety precautions and discussing them with your family, you can reduce the potential for devastating property loss, personal injury, and even death.
AT ANY TIME - If you smell gas inside or outside of your home:
BEFORE - Be prepared for a tornado
Know how and where to shut off the outdoor propane supply and indoor propane appliances. For more information, contact your propane retailer.
MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY KNOW WHAT PROPANE SMELLS LIKE. Propane has a strong, unpleasant smell like rotten eggs, a skunk's spray, or a dead animal.
NEVER store or place a propane cylinder indoors or in an enclosed area such as a basement, garage, shed, or tent.
It is recommended that you consider installing a carbon monoxide (CO) detector listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) on every level of your home. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding installation, location, and maintenance.
Propane gas detectors provide an additional measure of security. It is recommended that you consider installing one or more propane gas detectors listed by UL. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding installation, location, and maintenance.
Have a list of instructions on how to turn off electricity, propane, and water. Review suggested preparations for natural disasters such as tornadoes with your propane retailer as well as other utility suppliers. Advise them of any special needs you may have.
Create an emergency preparedness plan and review it regularly with your family in order to keep them safe during a potential disaster.
DURING - If a tornado approachesTornadoes can destroy buildings, down trees and power lines, and dislodge propane tanks and equipment. It is essential for you to understand what to do during this type of disaster. Listen to your local authorities, or television and radio stations, for instructions on the appropriate course of action to take. In the event that a tornado threatens your safety:
AFTER - What to do after a tornado
After a tornado has struck, use extreme caution and take the time to carefully evaluate the condition of all the structures on your property. If it is dark, use flashlights, not candles. If you have any doubts about your safety, leave the area immediately and have your property inspected by a qualified building inspector or structural engineer before re-entering.
Look carefully around the entire area. Check for downed power lines; they can create major safety hazards. High winds and hail can move, shift, or damage gas lines and tanks. If your propane tank becomes dislodged from its service line, it's likely to be leaking gas out into the surrounding area. A spark from a fallen power line or other ignition source could pose a danger to anyone nearby. Also, debris and water can find their way inside regulators and controls, causing potential safety issues. Immediately call your local utility company or propane retailer if any of these hazards exist.
If you find a propane tank on your property that is not yours, or if your propane tank has become dislodged or is missing, contact your propane retailer or your local fire department immediately.
Follow these general safety rulesTornadoes can cause power outages, flooding, or other events requiring you to take additional safety measures. To help reduce the potential for injury or death, there are general safety rules that you should observe at all times:
If you suspect any of your propane appliances, equipment, or vehicles have been under water or they have been damaged, or you have turned off your gas supply:

Wet fields keep Illinois corn planting at standstill
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Illinois farmers still can't begin planting their corn crops due to muddy fields caused by the heavy rains that inundated the state in recent weeks.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that as of Monday there's been no significant planting done in Illinois because many fields are simply too wet for farmers to get out in them in tractors.
The USDA says just 1 percent of the state's corn crop has been sown. This time last year, three-quarter of the state's cornfields were planted, more than double the five-year average of 36 percent.
Nationwide among key farming states, 4 percent of the corn crop is in the ground, down from 49 percent a year ago at this time.
UPDATE: SLYSA cancels soccer tournament in St. Charles
With rains on the way and levees around the soccer fields already pushed to the brink, the St. Louis Youth Soccer Association has canceled this year's Lou Fusz Soccer Club Midwest Cup.
Floodwater continues to threaten the area around Newtown and Highway 370 in St. Charles. The water is near the top of an agriculture levee next to the St. Louis Youth Soccer Association (SLYSA) fields. '
Instead of getting ready to hit the fields, youth soccer players and coaches have been working alongside the National Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers and St. Charles firefighters to reinforce more than a mile-long stretch of a levee near the field.
St. Charles Fire Chief Rick Daly says keeping the wall intact is about a lot more than protecting the soccer field. "If the levee fails here," he said, "it can potentially compromise areas in both the city and the county, and we don't want that to happen."
Rivers dropping north of St. Louis, rising to the south
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Levels of the Mississippi River are slowly dropping at places north of St. Louis, slowly rising to the south.
By Wednesday afternoon, a few smaller levees had been overtopped or breached, especially in Lincoln and Pike counties. But the makeshift levees in Clarksville, Mo., and Dutchtown, Mo., were holding. There were no reports of any Missouri towns in imminent danger.
A father and son were rescued from the river Tuesday near Crystal City after their small fishing boat became blocked by debris. Rescue crews advised staying off the river during flooding.
The Mississippi is expected to crest by Thursday morning in the Cape Girardeau area, but it will remain well above flood stage at most Missouri towns into next month.
Flooding also continues on the Missouri and smaller rivers.
Father and son rescued from Mississippi River
A man and his teenage son are safe after being rescued from the Mississippi River Tuesday evening.
About 6 p.m. the two had become stranded when their johnboat snagged on debris near the Ameren Rush Island power plant about 12 miles south of Crystal City.
The Coast Guard was unable to launch an immediate rescue operation because their nearby boat launches were all underwater.
Crews from the Jefferson County R-7 Fire Department did get a boat in the water and rescued the pair just before 8 p.m.
Both the father and his 15 year old son were treated for exposure, but are expected to recover.
Flooded Mississippi drawing tourists to downtown riverfront
A flood warning remains in effect for communities along the Mississippi River, including St. Louis.
As of 9:30 PM Sunday, the river was at at 33.7 feet in St. Louis, 3.7 feet above flood stage.
The sight of so much water swamping the levy is drawing gawkers, locals as well as tourists, to the Arch grounds.
Plenty of sightseers spent a sunny Sunday afternoon snapping pictures of the rising river, the water covering Lenore K. Sullivan Blvd. and the lower steps of the Arch just off the roadway.
But the high river levels mean the current is so swift, huge logs and debris are being swept downstream, a reminder of why it is called the Mighty Mississippi.
That strong current pulled more than 100 barges loose Saturday night, several hitting the JB Bridge, forcing its closure while an inspection was conducted. MoDOT's check of the bridge showed no damage, so the span was reopened.
The river, however, remains closed to traffic because of concerns that some sunken barges may be blocking the navigation channel. And more rain, expected Monday night and Tuesday, means it could be closed for some time.
Barges on the loose, for partial closure of JB Bridge
Flooding on the Mississippi River is being blamed for a barge accident that has partially shut down the JB Bridge.
The Coast Guard says as many as 85 barges broke loose overnight. High and fast water dragged those barges downstream, with at least one sinking.
Officials say up to four barges were stuck to the bridge last night. MoDOT says the bridge was designed to handle the collision, but they still shut it down to conduct inspections.
Governor visits Clarksville, town still battling flooding
CLARKSVILLE, Mo. (AP) — People in the eastern Missouri hamlet of Clarksville are getting a boost from the Missouri National Guard and even from prison inmates as they battle the surging Mississippi River.
The river is expected to crest nearly 11 feet above flood stage on Sunday at Clarksville, an unprotected town of 442 residents about 60 miles north of St. Louis. Residents and volunteers have built a makeshift levee made of gravel, plastic overlay and sandbags. On Saturday, attention turned to making sure the sandbag levee is sturdy enough to hold back the water.
Governor Jay Nixon visited Clarksville on Saturday.
Major bridge into Quincy, IL, closed
WEST QUINCY, Mo. (AP) — One Mississippi River bridge connecting Missouri and Illinois is now closed due to the fast-rising river, and a second one is scheduled to close on Saturday.
The Quincy Memorial Bridge connecting Quincy, Illinois and West Quincy, Missouri was closed Friday afternoon. A second bridge at Quincy remains open.
Transportation officials say the Champ Clark bridge at Louisiana, Missouri will close at noon today as the river is rising near the eastern approach to the bridge.
Several inches of rain in recent days has caused flooding on the Mississippi. It is expected to crest at many spots this weekend but remain high for several days after that.
Governor Nixon declares state of emergency after flooding
Governor Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency after the flash flooding yesterday and in anticipation of further flooding expected this weekend.
Nixon is sending Missouri National Guard members to Clarksville and other cities along the Mississippir. The State Emergency Operations Center is also monitoring the flooding and is coordinating with local agencies to provide emergency services.
Hundreds of volunteers needed to help in Clarksville, MO
In Clarksville, Missouri--which is about 75 miles northwest of St. Louis--volunteers are still needed to help with fill sandbags.
The town is currently experiencing minor flooding, but that is expected to be upgraded to major flooding by Friday night. The United Way and AmeriCorps are coordinating the volunteers and anyone 13 and older can sign up to help on the United Way's website. Volunteers between 13 and 18 years old need a guardian to sign up.
Officials say hundreds of volunteers are needed to save a historic portion of the Mississippi River town.

I went out this morning (in Robins) to find the lid knocked off the garbage can for the second day in a row. When I went to put the lid back on the upright can I saw a black and white tail move and knew right away what it was… apparently a skunk had become trapped.
After my heart rate returned to normal, I went in the house and grabbed the camera. Then carefully tipped the can over with a long-handled broom so he could leave (hopefully) without incident. After about 5 minutes he left the can and trotted down the driveway and took refuge in culvert at the end of the driveway. He never did spray. :)

TEAMS: New England Patriots
Via Larry Brown Sports:
If you think that the Patriots have become a finesse team that can't win big games anymore, Bill Parcells thinks you're crazy.
The Big Tuna was among seven elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Before learning of his good fortune, he gave an interview to Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe. Parcells reportedly scoffed at the suggestion that the Patriots have become a finesse team.
"No!'' said Parcells when told the Pats had been labeled a finesse team. "Who says that? They ran the ball good this year. I don't know what happened in the playoffs, but here's what I say to you guys in New England: You guys are spoiled. Really, you are. You've got to remember how the other half lives. You forgot. I was there for it, so I know. Just remember, you could be like some of these other franchises that you see. You got a couple of 'em in your division."
When Parcells told people in New England that they have been spoiled, he was probably talking about fans and media alike.
The Pats have won double-digit games in every season since 2003. The only year since then they didn't make the playoffs was in 2008 when Tom Brady got hurt. They still went 11-5 that year and only missed the postseason because of a tiebreaker. Because of their success, they're expected to win a Super Bowl every season, but they haven't since 2004. The fans care more about the team because it is successful, and that leads to a lot of nit-picking.
In the big picture, the Patriots have been wildly successful and spoiled New England, but that doesn't mean they haven't had flaws that should be discussed.
One thing we do know is that Tom Brady agrees with Parcells.
Pats are very good. The Ravens put up more points against a Niners team that is said to have one of the best defenses in the league. In the AFC championship game, the problem for the Pats was on offense. If they put up their customary 30 plus points they would have been in the Super Bowl again. But, only 13 points? Need a big receiver. And for Gronk to stay healthy for the playoffs.
Patriot fans ARE spoiled! The success they have had would be the envy of virtually every other club in football. They should be thankful for the golden era of their football, however they somehow think it's their God-given right to win and others should simply accept bad calls and dropped passes.

give Jacksonville time, Bradley is a good hire
2013 NFL Preview: AFC South
With training camps about to begin, we take a division-by-division look at where each team stands heading into the 2013 season.
The AFC South lost a considerable chunk of its identity when Peyton Manning sat out the 2011 season with a neck injury. This had been the Colts' division in the decade or so prior to that, with Manning's teams winning seven of eight division titles and a Super Bowl.
Indianapolis' Manning-less slide did open the door for the Houston Texans, who captured the AFC South crown in '11, then repeated the feat last year. They had to fend off a charge from the rapidly restocked Colts for the latter title, as rookie Andrew Luck led Indy to a surprising 11-5 record and a playoff berth.
So, is this division set to be a two-team race for the foreseeable future? It all depends on how close the Titans are to breaking a four-year playoff drought and how long Jacksonville's own rebuilding project will take.
This year's AFC South outlook:
Houston Texans
Key moves:
Signed FB Greg Jones, S Ed Reed; drafted WR DeAndre Hopkins, S D.J. Swearinger, OT Brennan Williams, OLB Sam Montgomery, OL David Quessenberry
WR Kevin Walter, TE James Casey, OLB Connor Barwin, S Glover Quin
Where they got better: Wide receiver. No offense to steady Kevin Walter, who averaged 46.5 catches per year for the Texans from 2006-12, but it was one of the NFL's worst-kept secrets that Houston was jonesing for a legit No. 2 receiver. DeAndre Hopkins will try to succeed where 2012 draft picks DeVier Posey and Keshawn Martin, to this point, have not. Hopkins, a 6-foot-1 Clemson product, caught a staggering 18 touchdown passes last season and should — should — take some heat off Andre Johnson in the passing attack. If all goes according to plan, Hopkins will be a Rookie of the Year candidate.
Where they got worse: Safety, with an asterisk. The Texans replaced departed free agent Glover Quin, an underrated player, with ex-Baltimore superstar Ed Reed and ultra-talented rookie D.J. Swearinger. Net gain, right? Well, maybe. Reed could miss some of the regular season following hip surgery, which he underwent after signing a three-year deal in Houston, much to the chagrin of the Texans' front office. His absence could force Swearinger into the lineup early. There are likely to be some highs and lows there, especially since the Texans' other safety starter, Danieal Manning, like Swearinger, is better in the box.
Breakout player: Whitney Mercilus, OLB. Mercilus registered six sacks last season as a rookie. Now, with Connor Barwin out of the mix, he'll jump into the starting lineup. He should be a double-digit sack guy there, provided he can handle the rising expectations and playing time.
Where they stand: It has been a slow climb for the Texans franchise, which waited 10 seasons for its first playoff berth and now, after back-to-back AFC South crowns, is seeking a postseason win over someone other than the Bengals. Houston boasted a top-10 offense and top-10 defense last season, en route to a 12-4 record. If Hopkins is everything the Texans dream him to be, they could be even better in 2013. The Texans have been on the brink for the past two seasons. They're a Super Bowl contender again, but can they get over the top?
Indianapolis Colts
Key moves:
Signed QB Matt Hasselbeck, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, OT Gosder Cherilus, G Donald Thomas, DT Ricky Jean-Francois, OLB Erik Walden, CB Greg Toler, S LaRon Landry; traded for LB Kelvin Sheppard; drafted OLB Bjoern Werner, G Hugh Thornton, C Khaled Holmes; hired O.C. Pep Hamilton
WR Donnie Avery, WR Austin Collie, OT Winston Justice, C A.Q. Shipley, NT Antonio Johnson, DE/OLB Dwight Freeney, CB Jerraud Powers
Where they got better: The offensive line. Indianapolis allowed 41 sacks of Andrew Luck last season (though, some of those were on Luck). In an effort to improve on that number and bolster the league's 22nd-ranked rushing attack, the Colts spent big bucks on tackle Gosder Cherilus and guard Donald Thomas. Cherulis' knees have plagued him, but he played well in Detroit last season; Thomas stepped up when called upon in New England and brings some much-needed versatility to the interior of the line. Oh, and don't overlook the addition of RB Ahmad Bradshaw, a stellar blocking back who's capable of slipping out as a receiver.
Where they got worse: Outside linebacker. Sure, Dwight Freeney was not the best fit as a stand-up pass-rusher in Indianapolis' new 3-4. But Freeney's departure still removes a key presence, on and off the field, from this roster. First-round pick Bjoern Werner is not a great 3-4 match on paper, either, though the Colts will work him into the lineup at least on passing downs. The verdict at this position falls on ex-Packer Erik Walden, whom the Colts seemingly overpaid to the tune of four years and $16 million. Indianapolis needs him to be more productive than he ever was in Green Bay.
Breakout player: Coby Fleener, TE. Fleener could be one of the big beneficiaries of Indianapolis' Pep Hamilton hiring — Fleener averaged 19.6 yards per catch and scored 10 touchdowns in college in 2011, Hamilton's first year calling plays for Stanford. His 26-catch rookie season could pale in comparison to what he does in Year 2.
Where they stand: Did last season re-establish the Colts as an AFC power or was it a smoke-and-mirrors job? There is evidence to both arguments. Indianapolis notched only three wins in 2013 over teams that made the postseason, and the defense was 26th in yards allowed. On the flip side, Luck should be much improved in his second year, and the offense may better play to his strengths. Bradshaw and WR Darrius Heyward-Bey give Luck more weapons to work with, too. The Colts may have what it takes to challenge Houston in the South … but a slight regression, aided by Bruce Arians leaving for Arizona, cannot be ruled out, either.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Key moves:
Signed RB Justin Forsett, WR Mohamed Massaquoi, DT Sen'Derrick Marks, DT Roy Miller, OLB Geno Hayes, CB Alan Ball, CB Marcus Trufant; drafted OT Luke Joeckel, S Johnathan Cyprien, CB Dwayne Gratz, WR Ace Sanders, RB Denard Robinson, S Josh Evans; hired head coach Gus Bradley, O.C. Jedd Fisch, D.C. Bob Babich
RB Rashad Jennings, FB Greg Jones, WR Laurent Robinson, OT Guy Whimper, G Eben Britton, DT Terrance Knighton, DT C.J. Mosley, OLB Daryl Smith, CB Derek Cox, CB Aaron Ross, S Dawan Landry
Where they got better: The secondary (eventually). In Landry, Cox and Ross, the Jaguars lost a combined 37 starts from their 2012 secondary. Jacksonville's still set up for a brighter future at cornerback and safety, thanks to the arrivals of rookies Jonathan Cyprien, Dwayne Gratz and Josh Evans plus veterans Marcus Trufant and Alan Ball. This team is now deeper and more dynamic in the defensive backfield, particularly thanks to Cyprien, a favorite of many draft experts heading into April. Both he and Gratz could be in the starting lineup when the regular season rolls around. There may be some growing pains, but the Jaguars ought to be better off in the long run.
Where they got worse: The pass rush. Technically, the Jaguars' situation there hit the skids when Daryl Smith, the franchise's all-time leading tackler, suffered a groin injury just before the regular season. He never made it back to 100 percent health, and the Jaguars finished 2012 with a league-worst 20 sacks. They really did very little to improve their stock there this offseason. Ex-Bear Geno Hayes will take over for Smith at outside linebacker, but Jacksonville mostly will rely on defensive ends Tyson Alualu, Jason Babin and Andre Branch to all raise their games following disappointing seasons.
Breakout player: Alan Ball, CB. Though those young guns may buoy the secondary in years to come, this group could struggle mightily in 2012. Hence, Ball, a player with three starts combined in 2011-12 and all of three career interceptions, looks to be the top cornerback. He's big (6-2) and aggressive, necessary components to thrive in Gus Bradley's coverages.
Where they stand: The rebuilding process began in earnest this offseason, so it may take a bit for the Jaguars to really challenge in the AFC South. They ranked 30th in offense and 29th in defense last year, so the resulting 2-14 record hardly qualifies as a fluke. A few more wins, experience for the rookies and, most importantly, an answer on the question of Blaine Gabbert's potential at QB would make for a successful season. Set the bar at 5-11 and appreciate the work Bradley is doing to lay the groundwork for his team.
Tennessee Titans
Key moves:
Signed QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, RB Shonn Greene, WR Kevin Walter, TE Delanie Walker, G Andy Levitre, G/C Rob Turner, DT Sammie Lee Hill, LB Moise Fokou, S Bernard Pollard, S George Wilson; drafted G Chance Warmack, WR Justin Hunter, CB Blidi Wreh-Wilson, OLB Zavier Gooden, G/C Brian Schwenke
QB Matt Hasselbeck, RB Javon Ringer, TE Jared Cook, G Leroy Harris, G Steve Hutchinson, G Deuce Lutui, DT Sen'Derrick Marks, LB Will Witherspoon, S Jordan Babineaux
Where they got better: Guard. This might be one of the most substantial upgrades for any team's position group league-wide. The Titans went from having all sorts of issues along the interior of their line to a starting duo of Andy Levitre and Chance Warmack, with Rob Turner and Chris Spencer as backups. That's a strong two-deep group, with the potential for greatness if Warmack can maul the way he did at Alabama. These upgrades are of particular significance for a team that wants to pound the ball between the tackles with Chris Johnson, who on more than one occasion last season bemoaned a lack of blocking.
Where they got worse: Tight end. That is, tight end as a weapon in this offense. Delanie Walker can do a lot of things on the field, specifically as a movable blocking piece. What he cannot do — or, rather, has never done in his NFL career — is create problems in the passing game. Walker has just 40 catches over the past two seasons; Jared Cook, the man he's replacing in the lineup, had 44 last season. The Titans never fully took advantage of Cook (and Cook never really gave them consistent effort), but for a passing attack that's struggled under QB Jake Locker to be anything more than mediocre, the loss of Cook's pass-catching abilities will be felt.
Breakout player: Kendall Wright, WR. Wright reportedly lost about 15 pounds this offseason and appears primed to build on an up-and-down rookie campaign. There will be a battle for targets, with Nate Washington, Kenny Britt, rookie Justin Hunter, Johnson and Walker all available. Britt has as good a chance as any to be Locker's go-to guy.
Where they stand: The notion that this entire Titans' season rests on Locker is unfair to the third-year QB. And yet … without Locker improving on a 10-touchdown, 11-interception, injury-plagued showing in his first year as a starter, the Titans will be hard-pressed to improve on a 6-10 record. There is not a lot separating Tennessee from, say, Indianapolis in this division. But the Colts know who their franchise quarterback is. The Titans have yet to figure out if Locker is the right man for the job. Until they do, raising the bar too high feels like a roll of the dice.
Andrew Luck is the most underrated player in sports history. If Manning had that record with that team last year they would be building even more statues for him. That being said, this is a frightfully dull division that will draw little interest from casual fans.
Gonna say Colts go 8-8 this year. Their schedule is way more difficult and all those hail mary's aren't gonna be completions for Luck this year.
Not a very exciting division.
Texans offense could be even better if DeAndre Hopkins lives up to the early hype. The Commish likes what he sees. Check it out.
Texans will win their 3rd division title in a row. I think the colts win less games this year than they did last year. They surprised people and had the motivation of their coach's illness they won't have this year.
don't know about that?? he was talked about alot
@randomdeletion Maybe they win the division again. But they won't win a Super Bowl with Matt Schaub at QB. They will waste the prime of the careers of Foster, Duane Brown, Watt, Cushing and Joseph with an average quarterback.
@randomdeletion It was more than that. Colts won a bunch of close games they could have easily lost. Texans thumped teams early in the season and were top afc seed until week 16.
@BrosephVanSlyke @randomdeletion And so what is your solution? There are only 4 or 5 elite qbs who can win super bowls with lesser talent and 32 teams. You could say the exact same thing about Flacco before last year.
@tmcclain @BrosephVanSlyke @randomdeletion Flacco had 5 playoff wins before last year. Schaub has 1 in his entire career.

Rated 2 out of 5 by GinnyinWI not as good as the old ones I purchased four new Filigree plates to go with two that I had already. One of the old ones was made in USA and one in China. These new four were made in Indonesia and they are not the same size as the older two. They are slightly larger and the scallop around the edge isn't as pronounced. Besides that, both these four and the one made in China are more grey than the USA one. I'm going to have to look elsewhere for some older USA plates which I like better. They are whiter and they are lighter and prettier. March 1, 2013

Benchmark oil markets may fall this week as higher bond yields erode confidence in the housing market, undermining the sector's 'multiplier effect' on the broader U.S. economy and complicating efforts by the Federal Reserve to withdraw stimulus.
Though consensus forecasts are calling for the Fed to start rolling back asset purchases at its mid-September meeting, recent negative data surprises suggest that time-frame may not be set in stone. U.S. crude futures rose 1.3 percent on Friday on expectations that the Fed would hold back from reducing stimulus after government data showed new-home sales fell by the most in more than three years.
A headwind for the housing recovery, higher U.S. mortgage rates have reflected a pick-up in benchmark 10-year Treasury yields which have traded at two-year peaks. "The last thing the Fed wants to do is prick the housing market," said John Licata, chief energy strategist and founder of Blue Phoenix in New York, who has a 'bearish' recommendation on oil markets this week.
(Read more: Why recent oil gain does not make an uptrend)
"For many, their home values rising have been reasons they have been spending more on retail," he said. "If the Fed tapers too much too soon, declining home prices plus lofty energy costs will make Q4 a miserable time for the stock market."
CNBC's weekly sentiment survey showed 54 percent, or thirteen out of 24 respondents, believe prices will fall this week. Over a quarter, or seven out of 24, say prices will gain while 17 percent (four out of 24) expect the market to trade at around current levels.
"World growth is tepid and risk rises with every basis point hike in world bond markets," said David Kotok, Chief Investment Officer at U.S. money manager Cumberland Advisors, with $2.3 billion assets under management.
Oil market volatility may be heightened this week as investors try to second-guess when stimulus taper may occur as traders scrutinize economic indicators for clues.
Scheduled U.S. data releases this week include July durable goods orders on Monday and the final reading for the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index on Friday. But the highlight will likely be Thursday's latest estimate of U.S. gross domestic product for the second quarter. The data is expected to show the economy grew a revised 2.2 percent annualized rate last quarter compared with a 1.7 percent reading last month, according to economists' forecasts compiled by Reuters.
(Read more: Here's why Egypt-led oil rally may falter)
Trading action this week may mirror last week's volatile moves, said Kirk Howell, portfolio manager at Allston Holdings, LLC. Last week's strong U.S. manufacturing PMI data helped offset cautious Fed minutes, he said, adding that a deteriorating situation in the Middle East propelled WTI crude off $103.50 though U.S. crude was still down on the week at around $106.30.
"I wouldn't be too surprised if this week we see more of the same kind of choppiness given the added component of squaring the books for the end of month and starting to position ahead of what will be a very busy September" with the release of the official labor report September 6 and the Fed's policy meeting on September 18, Howell said.
No taper?
Opinion is split on how capital markets would react if the Fed defied expectations and voted not taper in September.
Some argue the availability of cheaper liquidity for longer may help fuel a relief rally in risk assets while others say it may be interpreted as a negative signal if the Fed believes the economic recovery is still fragile and needs support for longer. Commodity markets suffered a wave of selling in the second-quarter after the Fed first suggested it would scale back stimulus, depriving markets of a source of cheap liquidity. Some fear another bout of selling if the Fed tapers next month.
"Taper is bad but no taper indicates economy is weak," said Warren Gilman, Chairman and CEO of CEF Holdings, a resources-focused private equity investor. "So either way prices likely to come back down."
(Read more: Terror fears draw buyers of crude oil)
Outside the macro-economic focus, a sizable proportion of bullish survey respondents warned the conflict in Syria may represent an upside risk, lifting the risk premium in the oil barrel and adding to a choppy trading backdrop.
U.N. weapons experts are due on Monday to inspect a site where poison gas killed hundreds of people in Damascus suburbs, amid calls from Western capitals for military action to punish the world's worst apparent chemical weapons attack in 25 years, Reuters reported.
"Oil is getting impacted by Syria crisis now. The fear or risk is a foreign government gets involved," said a Bangalore, India-based proprietary oil trader. "Oil is a strict 'no short' for me. I look at it as a 'buy on dips' market. Having said that, I will not hold big positions overnight."
Adding to the tense supply background, Libya's navy prevented a tanker from "illegally entering" Al-Sedra oil terminal in the east of the country, the army's general staff said Tuesday, as protests paralyzed several ports. A Libyan navy patrol boat reportedly fired on the 340-meter supertanker to make it change course from Al-Sedra , where it was thought it would take on an unauthorized shipment of crude oil, the Saudi Gazette reported on its online edition on Sunday. A week ago, Prime Minister Ali Zidan warned that any suspect vessel entering Libyan waters would be fired on without warning, the Gazette said.
(Read more: Rising oil prices: Is it really all about Egypt?)
"The problems in Libya are escalating with the navy firing at an unauthorized tanker earlier in the week, and even though two small ports are said to have reopened, the problems there are far from over," said David Nevin, an energy broker at Xconnect Trading in London.
Israel's air force on Friday bombed a militant base in Lebanon used by allies of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and radical Islamists in retaliation for a rare cross-border rocket salvo a day earlier, Israeli and Lebanese officials said, according to Reuters.
"Syria adds to the mix, and any intervention by the U.N. will upset the Iranians," Nevin added. "The geopolitics of the Middle East continues to support."
Brent crude "looks to be a 'buy on dips' market going forward," Nevin said, adding that a pull-back in Brent to around $108 and $107.70 represents an attractive buying opportunity; while, on the upside, a break past $111.20 may provide a springboard to the $111.70 area and possibly $112.23.

The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The CIA thriller "Argo" continues to steamroll through awards season, winning the top honor for overall cast performance at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Ben Affleck, center, and the cast of "Argo" accept the award for outstanding cast in a motion picture at the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday.
The Associated Press
SAG's lead-acting honors Sunday went to Jennifer Lawrence for her role as a troubled widow in a shaky new relationship in the lost-souls romance "Silver Linings Playbook" and Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War epic "Lincoln."
The supporting film awards Sunday went to Anne Hathaway of "Les Miserables" and Tommy Lee Jones of "Lincoln."
"It occurred to me — it was an actor that murdered Abraham Lincoln," said Day-Lewis, a solid front-runner to join an exclusive list of three-time acting Oscar winners. "And therefore, somehow it is only so fitting that every now and then an actor tries to bring him back to life again."
The SAG cast win came a day after "Argo" claimed the top honor from the Producers Guild of America, whose winner often goes on to claim best picture at the Academy Awards. "Argo" also was a surprise victor two weeks ago at the Golden Globes, where it won best drama and director for Ben Affleck.
The award momentum positions "Argo" for a rare feat at the Feb. 24 Oscars, where it could become just the fourth film in 85 years to be named best picture without a nomination for its director.
"To me this has nothing to do with me, it has to do with the incredible people who were in this movie," said Affleck, who also stars in "Argo" and accepted the SAG prize alongside his cast.
It was a brisk, businesslike and fairly bland evening as the actors union handed out honors to a predictable lineup of winners who generally had triumphed at earlier Hollywood ceremonies or past SAG shows.
"Now I have this naked statue that means some of you even voted for me, and that is an indescribable feeling," ''Silver Linings" star Lawrence said after explaining she earned her SAG card at age 14 by filming a spot for MTV.
Hathaway won for her role as a doomed single mother forced into prostitution in the adaptation of the stage musical based on Victor Hugo's epic novel. Her win came over four past Oscar recipients — Sally Field, Helen Hunt, Nicole Kidman and Maggie Smith.
"I'm just thrilled I have dental," Hathaway said. "I got my SAG card when I was 14. It felt like the beginning of the world. I have loved every single minute of my life as an actor. ... Thank you for nominating me alongside incredible women and incredible performances."
Jones, who was not at the show, won for his turn as abolitionist firebrand Thaddeus Stevens in the Civil War epic. The win improves his odds to become a two-time Academy Award winner. He previously won a supporting-actor Oscar for "The Fugitive."
On the television side, with "30 Rock" ending its run, its stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin won the SAG awards for best comedy performers. It was Baldwin's seventh-straight win, while Fey earned her fifth SAG prize.
"Oh, my God. It's ridiculous," Baldwin said. "It's the end of our show, which is sad. Everybody is sad about that. It was the greatest experience I've ever had."
Fey gave a plug for the show's finale airing Thursday, noting that it's up against "The Big Bang Theory."
"Just tape 'The Big Bang Theory' for once, for crying out loud," Fey said.
"Modern Family" won for best overall cast in a TV comedy show. Accepting for the cast, "Modern Family" co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson offered thanks to the makers of "30 Rock" and another departing series, "The Office," saying "you all have set the comedy bar so high."

About usJason Gibb and Cathy Rogers set up Nudo in 2005 after buying and restoring an abandoned 21 acre olive grove in Italy's Le Marche.
Their love of the Italian countryside inspired their now famous adopt an olive tree programme which allows people all over the world to adopt an Italian olive tree and receive its oil. The programme involves a collaboration between a group of small scale, artisanal olive producers in Le Marche and Abruzzo. Each olive farmer keeps responsibility for the care of their grove, and all the olive oil goes into the Nudo adoption programme. In giving financial security to the olive farmers, the programme makes viable the traditional farming methods which, quite simply, produce the world's best olive oil.
A love of simple natural food is the starting point for all Nudo products. They are all made from 100% natural, high quality, locally sourced ingredients. Why use artificial preservatives when olive oil is one of the best preservatives there is - and the most delicious?

Writing for the Web
Have Web questions, or need a new Web site or just want updates made, e-mail:
» Writing for the Web
Writing for the Web poses different challenges than writing for print. Study after study has shown that users do not like to spend a lot of time reading on the Web. Instead, they scan pages, trying to pick out a few sentences or even parts of sentences to get the information they want. When people visit your Web site, they are after information, first and foremost. Here are general guidelines to follow when writing for the Web:
- Concise writing is best. Keep it short, but don't "dumb it down."
- Try to limit yourself to one idea per paragraph.
- Write as informally as is appropriate for your audience. Formal writing takes careful reading, and most Web readers don't want to do that.
- Avoid clever headings and cute catchphrases that aren't quickly obvious to the readers.
- As a general rule, avoid empty chatter like welcoming text or instructions on using the site. Users are looking for information.
- Try to use no more than half the words you would use in a printed publication.
- Keep pages short if the user is likely to read the material online.
- Use short text segments, written in a clear, easy-to-understand style.
- Documents must be concise and structured for scanning. Use headings, bulleted lists, and bold text for words and sections you want to emphasize.
- Put the important information at the top of the page so users can find it quickly.
- Make sure the first sentence in any paragraph captures the essence of the paragraph.
- Keep your content up to date. Users expect the material to be current.
- If you are stating something as a fact, be sure it is a fact.
- Write your text in a program that has spell-checking and search features before transferring it to html.
- Proofread your text (and have someone else proofread it as well) before putting it online.
- Use clear and concise wording for your links so users know where the link will take them and what information they are likely to find.
- Hypertext links should supplement your message, not substitute for it or distract from it. Don't arbitrarily send readers to another page.
- Put only the most relevant and significant links in the body of your text. Group minor, illustrative, or footnote links at the bottom of the page.
- Most links should lead to other documents in your site, not to someone else's site. Make sure readers know when they will be leaving your site.
- Avoid underlining copy. Most browsers automatically display links with underlines, and underlining any other text may confuse readers.
- Avoid links to incomplete or "under construction" pages.
- Avoid changing the URLs of existing pages, as this will "break" links for those who have added links from their site to yours. When relocation is unavoidable, a redirect page to the new URL must be posted at the original URL and remain there for one year.

Biography / Administrative history
The 78th Canadian Infantry Battalion was organized in July 1915 under authorization published in General Order 103a of 15 August 1915. The battalion was commanded initially by Lieutenant-Colonel J.B. Mitchell who was soon succeeded by Lieutenant-Colonel James Kircaldy. The battalion was mobilized in Winnipeg and recruited in the Winnipeg district.
An initial draft of 5 officers and 250 other ranks was sent to England on 25 September 1915. The battalion itself embarked at Halifax 22 May 1916 aboard EMPRESS OF BRITAIN, disembarking in England on 29 May 1916. Its strength was 37 officers and 1097 other ranks. The battalion arrived in France on 12 August 1916, becoming part of the 4th Canadian Division, 12th Canadian Infantry Brigade. It was later reinforced by the 11th Canadian Reserve Battalion and, after 5 September 1918, by the 18th Canadian Reserve Battalion. The battalion returned to England on 1 May 1919, disembarked in Canada on 7 June 1919, was demobilized on 12 June 1919, and was disbanded by General Order 149 of 15 September 1920.
The battalion colours were donated by 100th Winnipeg Grenadiers and were deposited in Canterbury Cathedral for the duration of war. They were later deposited in St. Matthew's Church, Winnipeg. The battalion supported a brass band. The battalion also published a photographic record for the year 1915.

What is Fear?
Emotions play an important part in our daily lives. Fear is one such emotion that is pre-programmed into all animals and people as an instinctual response to potential danger.
As for what is fear biologically speaking, when a person experiences fear, certain areas in their brain such as the amygdala and the hypothalamus are immediately activated and appear to control the first physical response to fear. Chemicals such as adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol are released into the blood stream causing certain physical reactions such as:
- Rapid heart rate
- Increased blood pressure
- Tightening of muscles
- Sharpened or redirected senses
- Dilation of the pupils (to let in more light)
- Increased sweating
People who have experienced this will often remember the moment when disaster stuck and how time seemed to slow down. They knew exactly what to do without consciously thinking about it, they had great strength (some have even been able to lift a car to save their trapped child) and they felt no pain. All these are protective mechanisms to increase our chances of survival.
There are numerous causes of fear. Some are better known than others, such as the fear of spiders (Arachnophobia), fear of blood (Hemaphobia), fear of heights (Acrophobia) and fear of exams (Testophobia). Others types of fear not so well known are fear of mirrors (Catoptrophobia), fear of hair (Chaetophobia), fear of being tickled by feathers (Pteronophobia), and fear of work (Ergophobia). Still, new causes of fear are being diagnosed.
